Robert Snodgrass is reportedly being reconsidered at West Ham - and the Villa fans aren't happy about it!

In fact, they are desperate for him to stay.

Snodgrass could be thrown a West Ham lifeline in the summer by David Moyes, after impressing at Aston Villa.

He joined Villa on a season-long loan in the summer and has played a significant role in the claret and blues’ rise into the top two since the turn of the year.

The Scottish international has scored seven times for the Villans, and it’s form that has prompted calls from many a supporter to transform the loan deal into a permanent one in the summer.

Since there has been a change in management at parent club West Ham, however, with compatriot David Moyes replacing Slaven Bilic, it’s now understood that Snodgrass could be given a fresh start at the London Stadium.

David Sullivan claimed his “children begged him” not to sign Snodgrass and Jose Fonte in the January window last season.

“I’m very involved with physically bringing in the players,” Sullivan told the Guardian at the time.

“I’m not involved in the strategy. The manager said he wanted Fonte from Southampton and Snodgrass from Hull. My kids begged me not to sign them.”

Snodgrass responded with a tweet that signed off with “thanks for your support MR CHAIRMAN”.

The winger, who turns 31 in September, cost the Irons £7m when they signed him from Hull a little over a year ago.

There were reports last month that they were eager to recall him from his loan, but the loan agreement allowed no such thing.

Your views

Oldburyite: Speculative I know, but if Villa go up and the shackles of this fair play rubbish are taken off, it may be that Snodgrass wouldnt get the deal he may be looking for.

He would no doubt want a 3 year contract, personally, I would bet 18 Months would be a more realistic target, but whichever way it goes, he'd rather that than return to a club where he is not welcome by the Owners. I have a very distinct feeling, that providing we do get promotion, Mr Xia has already got plans in place to rebuild the Team, but with Quality, not Quantity, been there, made that mistake many times, which would, I presume, put Snodgrass in a bit of a precarious position regarding a pecking order, I dont doubt his ability, its there for all to see and I love his commitment, but sadly, his age is a bit of an obstacle to guarantee a regular place on the team sheet.

AVFCD: He doesn't want a second chance at that club, his heart is here but i can see them forcing him to stay with them

Bruno1969: As well as snoddy is doing a great job for us we need to realise that at 31 yrs old he hasnt got much mileage left and should be looking to replace him at some point,don't get me wrong he's doing a fantastic job as is adomah and the rest of the lads,If we make it back to the promised land we'll surely need a whole lot of better younger players to be able to stay there

All you need to know about Aston Villa now

Villaman: It was made very clear they did not really want him and Bilic never played him. Their new manager changes nothing. Unless I am completely off base he seems very happy here. Playing well. Big club who respects him. I don't know how long he has left on his WH deal but I feel it's simple. If we get promoted he will play for us. If not he won't.

Holtender56: Id be gutted if Snoddy left us at the end of the season. Hes been a great signing and he really seems to be 'one of us'.

VileVillain: He won't be going nowhere until the end of the season even then I doubt he would want to play for West Ham again, It's just another story that needs to be told in the summer and not now.
